OLIO GARDA LIBRETTO EN.indd 5 10/05/16 11:42 IN LITERATURE

“I might have been in Verona this evening: but a magnificent natural phenomenon was in my vicinity,—Lake Garda, a splendid spectacle, which I did not want to miss; and now I am nobly rewarded for taking this circuitous route.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Like a mighty goblet of silver,

Benacus wide encircles it. Fringed are the gleaming shores with quiet olives and copses of everlasting laurel-trees.”

Giosuè Carducci

“The olive trees of Lake Garda, so human! Slim, lithe, their trunk split open, free of weight, all breath and attention, and so airy and ingenious, they stand slightly taller than Man. They let us pick some fruit from their arms raised to the sky.”

Gabriele d’Annunzio
